Sinker betta acts like a goby. Not bad for a freebie.

weird it sure doesn't look healthy

Oh, he is. Very spunky. No signs of illness either. Just a little paralyzed, that's all.

He actually just ate some ColorBits. An hour after coming home. Nice.

Oh , my bad dude I didn't realize it was yours. Didn't mean to be snarky. He definitely has some goby attributes he acts kind of like my knight goby's. Im glad he found a caring home !

 

[knifegill]

I named him Sinker. Nothing else seems to stick.

Some reassurance as to his good health:

Those points where he looks to be struggling, I'm pretty sure he's actually pumping out the extra steam to keep his head stationary like a normal betta would do. If you edit out his body and just had his eyes there, you'd see normal betta movement. He's got what it takes, it just isn't pretty.

So whats the story behind him?

LFS ordered a bunch of giants. This one was gimpy so I asked if I could trade an angelfish or something. The answer was basically 'yes' and now he's mine. Ta-Daa.
